40k-60k miles is the average lifespan on these flawed OEM units.

What happens if you drive with bad TA's ? Bank 1 gave signal twice in 4 months and lights went off and never came back.
You won't necessarily damage the engine by driving with a faulty actuator. The only problem is that it will eventually go into complete limp mode. It starts with the code coming on briefly and then going away when you start the car again. Then it becomes more frequent. Then a time comes where the car is in complete limp mode.

So the wise thing to do is to order the units when you first get the code/Xmas lights. So you can avoid scrambling last minute if it goes into complete limp mode a week before track day etc. No point on kicking the tire down the road.

Just my humble opinion.
